Description
Learn how to load paper into the cassette of a SELPHY CP900 printer .
Solution
Prepare the paper
-
Make sure to use genuine Canon brand Color Ink Cassette / Paper Sets made for SELPHY CP series printers.
Don't use regular printer paper, postcards, or paper meant for SELPHY ES series printers.
-
If a protective sheet came with the paper, remove it before you load the cassette.
-
Count the sheets to make sure you have no more than 18 in the cassette. (If you load more than 18 sheets it may damage the printer or cause malfunction.)
-
Make sure the ink cassette matches the paper size (P) shown on the outside of the cassette (POSTCARD (4x6in), CARD SIZE, etc.).

- Place the paper into the paper cassette with the glossy side up.
Don't touch the glossy side of the paper with your fingers, as it may cause poor print quality.

- Close the inner lid until it clicks into place. Leave the outer lid open during printing.
